"Retrieve configuration of multiple devices with ease using this Perl script." (10 words)
Installation is a breeze as the fetchconfig.pl script requires a Perl interpreter at /usr/bin/perl, and the Net::Telnet module. Simply unpack the fetchconfig tarball from the available source, then move the fetchconfig-0.0 to a suitable location. After this, symbolic links should be added to make it available under /usr/local/fetchconfig.
To use fetchconfig, edit the "device_table.example" file, according to specific needs, then save it as "device_table". Then, navigate to the fetchconfig directory, copy the example file to device_table, and finally, edit the device_table file to add the target devices.
To run the fetchconfig.pl script, use the command "./fetchconfig.pl -devices=device_table". The script scans the "device_table" file to retrieve configurations from every device, storing them under the "repository".
Overall, fetchconfig is an incredible tool for retrieving configurations from multiple devices with ease.
